How can Mercedes block the rule change? I thought only 10 of the 11 teams had to agree (unless it is all, like for the tyre change last year). I guess the question should be, why would they block the rule change…

I thought a 10kg increase to 700kgs would be a good compromise for 2014. Then, for 2015 and 2016, they could bring it back down to 695kg and 690kg, as improvements are found and the cars naturally decrease in weight.

Obviouslyif you ask a competitor he/she will say no. This is part of the game. This objection to giving up his/her advantage to others is inherent to the sport at this level. Therefore, obviouly to me personaly, that FIA should have taken own decision and just have done it, if this will improve the fairness of racing.
